Delicious and hearty Beefy Enchiladas featuring seasoned ground beef, melted cheddar cheese, and flavorful enchilada sauce wrapped in corn tortillas, baked to perfection for a comforting Mexican-inspired meal.

Ingredients

Beef Filling

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Enchiladas

  • 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 corn tortillas

To Serve (Optional)

  • Sour cream
  • Chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the enchiladas.
  2. Cook the Beef Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the chopped onion until the beef is fully cooked and onions are soft. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  3. Season the Filling: Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the cooked beef mixture. Mix well and then remove from heat.
  4. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish, then spread a small amount of the enchilada sauce over the bottom to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  5. Assemble the Enchiladas: Fill each corn tortilla with a portion of the beef mixture and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, then sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot, optionally garnished with sour cream and chopped cilantro for added creaminess and freshness.

Notes

  • Use corn tortillas for a traditional flavor, but flour tortillas can be substituted if preferred.
  • For extra spice, add diced jalapeños to the beef mixture.
  • Leftover enchiladas can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
  • To reduce calories, use lean ground beef and reduced-fat cheese.
  • Make ahead by assembling enchiladas and refrigerating before baking.
